The 960GB ThinkSystem 5200 Mainstream SATA 6Gb/s SED 2.5" Hot Swap Solid State Drive is a high-performance self-encrypting drive adhering to the Trusted Computing Group Enterprise Security Subsystem Class cryptographic standard (TCG Enterprise SSC). It uses Micron NAND flash memory technology with a SATA 6Gbps interface to provide an affordable solution for secure mixed read/write workloads. Self-encrypting drives provide benefits by encrypting data on-the-fly at the drive level with no performance impact, by providing instant secure erasure thereby making the data no longer readable, and by enabling auto-locking to secure active data if a drive is misplaced or stolen from a system while in use. These features are essential for many businesses, especially those storing customer data.
